Atos 12
Bíblia Portuguesa Mundial (Brazilian Portuguese)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Por aquele mesmo tempo, o rei Herodes começou a maltratar alguns membros da igreja.
1And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
2Ele matou Tiago, irmão de João, à espada.
2And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3Vendo que isso agradava aos judeus, mandou prender também Pedro. Isso foi durante os dias dos pães asmos.
3And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
4Depois de prendê-lo, colocou-o na prisão e o entregou a quatro grupos de quatro soldados cada para guardá-lo, com a intenção de apresentá-lo ao povo depois da Páscoa.
4And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
5Pedro, pois, era guardado na prisão, mas a igreja orava continuamente a Deus por ele.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
6Naquela mesma noite, quando Herodes estava para apresentá-lo, Pedro dormia entre dois soldados, acorrentado com duas cadeias. Guardas em frente à porta vigiavam a prisão.
6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7E eis que um anjo do Senhor apareceu ao lado dele, e uma luz brilhou na cela. Ele tocou no lado de Pedro e o acordou, dizendo: “Levante-se depressa!” E as cadeias caíram de suas mãos.
7And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
8O anjo lhe disse: “Vista-se e calce as suas sandálias.” Ele assim o fez. Disse-lhe mais: “Ponha a sua capa e siga-me.”
8And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9Ele saiu e o seguiu. Não sabia que o que o anjo fazia era real, mas pensava que via uma visão.
9And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
10Quando passaram pelo primeiro e pelo segundo posto de guarda, chegaram ao portão de ferro que dá para a cidade, o qual se abriu por si mesmo para eles. Saíram e desceram por uma rua, e imediatamente o anjo o deixou.
10And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
11Quando Pedro caiu em si, disse: “Agora sei verdadeiramente que o Senhor enviou o seu anjo e me livrou do poder de Herodes e de tudo o que o povo judeu esperava.”
11And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12Pensando nisso, ele foi à casa de Maria, mãe de João, chamado Marcos, onde muitos estavam reunidos e oravam.
12And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13Quando Pedro bateu à porta do portão, uma serva chamada Rode veio atender.
13And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
14Quando ela reconheceu a voz de Pedro, de tanta alegria não abriu o portão, mas correu para dentro e anunciou que Pedro estava em pé em frente ao portão.
14And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
15Eles lhe disseram: “Você está louca!” Mas ela insistia que era assim. Eles disseram: “É o seu anjo.”
15But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
16Mas Pedro continuava batendo. Quando abriram, eles o viram e ficaram espantados.
16But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
17Mas ele, fazendo-lhes sinal com a mão para que se calassem, declarou-lhes como o Senhor o havia tirado da prisão. E disse: “Contem estas coisas a Tiago e aos irmãos.” Então ele saiu e foi para outro lugar.
17But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
18Logo que amanheceu, houve grande alvoroço entre os soldados sobre o que teria acontecido a Pedro.
18Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19Quando Herodes o procurou e não o encontrou, interrogou os guardas e ordenou que fossem executados. Ele desceu da Judeia para Cesareia e ali permaneceu.
19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.
20Ora, Herodes estava muito irado com o povo de Tiro e de Sidom. Eles foram juntos falar com Herodes e, depois de conseguirem o apoio de Blasto, assistente pessoal do rei, pediram paz, porque o seu país dependia do país do rei para obter alimento.
20And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
21Em um dia designado, Herodes vestiu-se com trajes reais, assentou-se no trono e lhes fez um discurso.
21And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
22O povo gritava: “É a voz de um deus, e não de um homem!”
22And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23Imediatamente um anjo do Senhor o feriu, porque ele não deu glória a Deus. Então ele foi comido por vermes e morreu.
23And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
24Mas a palavra de Deus crescia e se multiplicava.
24But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25Barnabé e Saulo voltaram para Jerusalém quando cumpriram o seu serviço, levando também com eles João, que era chamado Marcos.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
